Withdrawal Policies

University Withdrawal

The following refund schedule applies when students drop all classes and leave the
University. This does NOT apply to students making schedule adjustments who otherwise
remain enrolled at Michigan Tech.

Students receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees when all classes are dropped
prior to the first day of the semester.

Refunds for classes offered in a time module other than a fourteen-week semester will
be prorated according to this schedule and the equivalent percentage of time.

Room and Board Refunds

used.

Enrollment Deposit

The enrollment deposit is refundable within six months of leaving the University.
Unpaid charges such as library fines, traffic fines, lab charges, and other penalties
will be deducted from the refund of the deposit.

Credit Balance Refunds

Credit balance refunds resulting from the receipt of financial aid or overpayment
will be issued during the third week of the semester. Credit balances as a result
of Federal Direct Loan proceeds will be refunded when the credit appears on the student’s
account. Checks are mailed or direct deposited into the student’s checking or savings
account.

It is the student’s responsibility to maintain correct addresses. Mailing addresses
(local address where refund checks will be sent) may be updated through Banweb (Student Information System).

A $10 fee will be assessed to the student’s account if he or she requests a stop payment
and reissue of a credit balance check within fifteen days from the date of issue.
No fee will be assessed if the request comes fifteen days or later after the date
of issue.

Withdrawal Procedure

Students withdrawing from the University will have their tuition assessed based on
the Withdrawal Refund Schedule. Failure to withdraw will result in F grades and in payment of tuition and fees which
otherwise may be avoided.

Complete the Withdrawal Form and bring to the Dean of Students Office in the Administration Building.

Involuntary Medical Withdrawal

A student will be subject to involuntary withdrawal if the University Medical and
Mental Health Board recommends, in the members’ professional judgment, and the dean
accepts the recommendation, that the student is suffering from a mental, emotional,
psychological, or physical health disorder and, as a result of this disorder engages,
or threatens to engage, in behavior that would cause significant property damage or
directly and substantially impede the lawful activities of others.

Withdrawal of Students Called to Active Military Service

Students called to active duty are guaranteed readmission upon completion of active
service. Enrolled Michigan Tech students who are called to active military duty will
be given the opportunity to work out the best possible solution for maintaining their
academic status. They must choose one of the following options before departing for
active service:

Leave for active service with a tuition refund of 100 percent. Refunds involving financial
aid will be adjudicated to decrease the payback required from the student to the lowest
possible amount.

Agree that temporary grades will be issued for enrolled courses. The temporary grades
will be P for Progress or I for Incomplete. In some cases, arrangements can be made
to complete the course work while on active duty. Otherwise, the student may complete
the courses when he or she returns to the University.

Required Course Withdrawal

The Dean of Students Office may, on the recommendation of the department chair, require students to withdraw
from any course or courses in which their preparation, progress, effort, or conduct
is deemed unsatisfactory.
